A GENERAL SURPRISE.

vious documents 1t treated Of two sub
j9cts only, the surplus and the tariff
General opinion is that it is strong mes
sage and shows the Presidents haud
clearly. Every tariff reformer w&s pleas
ed with it's purpOrt, their faces being
wresthed in smiles. Mills of Texas saws
it is elegant and could not be better. It
caused more of q sensation among the
Republicans than with the Demo Gratis.
Nearly everyone prOnOuuces it unique
and fOrCi0le state paper and one calcula-
ted to arouse Congress- to definite action
on the surplus and tariff questions.
THE TEXANS LUCKY.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. EN- the ORA wing
for seats in the organization of the HOuse
the Texas members were rather lucky
Mills aud LsDhsm were favorites Of for
tune and their names come out early
Both chose aisle seats on the fourth row
from the Speaker and near the center Of
the Democratic side. Judge Abbott was
called early in the forties and selected q
good desk in front of his colleagues lust
| named He could easily have apprOpris-
ted RlndalI's seat, but as did several
pAlGi . OOG Va S'uL hNry w NlChG DICtGG-
zionist he left it for the distinguished
Pennsylvania, who sits just left of the
member from the Fort Worth district
Ma Or Martin, Saus or Resgan's success
sOr, also fsred well, beng the third Texan
called. Msj0r Martin is too much of 8
man to be cast down DO the attempts of 8
| lot Of Bohemian newspaper men TO hold
him up to public ridicule as they tried to
do when he fist came to Warrington by
getting 8 slllV story On foot that he came
near being suff cated TO death from
BLOWING OUT THE GAS
at Williard's True, he is the very OBJ
posite of dud but he is 3 man for all
that, and will do his state good service,
Judge Abbott has not been very we'll
| since his arrival st the capital, IS the
water does not agree with him. He has
made favorable impression by his quiet
and dignifed manners, and the predic-
| ZION is made thst he will make en- envi-
able record as jealous and useful repre-
sentative. he intends TO Spend
all his energies to secure 9
first class Federal building al
Fort Worth, and Will work untiriDgly
to that end. The entire Texas de!ega-
ton, in fact, is body of workers, and
will leave their imprint on national legis
! lation in everything that concerns the
welfare of Texas. They can ever b.
counted on to take the riglt stand They
| ere conservative, brainy aud patriotic
The delegation from the Lone Star state
would not suffer by comparison with
that Of any state in the Union.
LAMAR WILL b Il CONFIRMED.
! Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-For once a.
! least the Presidents selections for i'm
portsnt appointments were ascertsineC
I in advance To-day the nominations OF
L Q G. Lsmsr for Associate Justtce OF
the Supreme Court, william T Villas for
Secretary of the Interior Department to
succeed Mr.. Lamar, and Don M. Dickin-
| son to be Postmaster General, we're sent
to the Senste. Il Wss so well under
stood that these appointments were to
be made that they occasiOned no sur
prise, but there seems to be a feeling akin
to disappointment smOng some OF the
southern Congress en-. The south
loses one OF it's places IN the Cabinet
without gaining anything by way of COM
D nsstion, ga the appointment Of Mr..
Lamar 10 the Supreme bench is to succeed
jus i x Woods, VINO was Oh sen to repre-
sent the south. The judicial circuit over
which Mr. Lsmsr will preside comprises
most { f the southern stat 8, hence the
southern people feel that they are en-
titled to that appointment. There has
been some speculation as to the con-
tirmstion Of Mr. Lamar by the Senate,
mainly because Of his age, but the pre-
vsiling impression of his party friends in
the Senate is that he will be confirmed
without delsy. He was long a member
OF the Seuate spd has strong personal
friends among the members of both par
ties.
WILL TOUCH UP THE LAWYERS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. g. rne Senate
sub commi tee of under valuations of i'm
ports promises 20 report bill before the
sholidaY recess, but nothing can be learned
of its provision in advance Il is said to
embody quite 8 revolution in the customs
machinery, and there are intimations that
1t will be likely TO excite s formida BILE
prosecution Of the lawyer class, for the
reason it discOursges-in fact sbolishes-
prolific and profitable source Of litigs-

THE FORMATION CT THE COMMITTEES
The Evening Star says Mr.. NJ, Nael, the
compiler of the Congressional DIRECTORY,
this morning called upon Speaker Carlisle
and inquired as 10 when the committees
would probably be ready for announce
ment. The Speaker replied he hoped to
have them ready before holiday recess.
The Speaker has conferred with leading
members of the House on the subj CT, and
unless there shall be too much of scrsm-
BILE for good pisces, the committees will
be made up before the holiday recess.
